Fresh Air Bar-B-Que

"All I can say is DELICIOUS! My favorite is the smoked chicken plate. The bbq sauce is amazing, so I make sure to buy my own bottle! Thanks for the amazing bbq!"

"Wife and I both got the BBQ plate. Hers had slaw, Brunswick Stew while I had the stew. It was delicious and filling. This is my favorite place in Macon for BBQ! NEVER dissatisfied with service, food or the establishment. Friendliest staff!"

"I am from out of town and bought a chicken plate and a barbecue plate take out. I got back to the hospital where my husband is and noticed thst there was not a barbecue sandwich in the box. I brought the box back and the girl at the register said that the barbecue was in a cup in the box. I got her message. I nicely asked if I might get a replacement cup of barbecue with a hot cup f barbecue for my husband. She reluctantly got me a new cup and then reached in my box and threw the other cup up. I could take that action but I could not take her attitude or the smirk on her face. I hope this action was worth this bad review. Fresh Air Bar-B-Que is Not the only game In town. It looks like they are taking their clientele for granted...I won't be back."

"Deserves Every Bit of #2 Best BBQ in South!! Rated as #2 best barbeque restaurants in the south by Southern living. And it deserves every bit of that high praise! Food -- The menu is simple and that's a great thing. They have ribs, chopped barbecue, chopped chicken, Brunswick stew, coleslaw, and baked beans. And all of it is amazing! I got the rib plates which included everything on the menu: half a pound of ribs, Brunswick stew, coleslaw, baked beans, and two pieces of white bread. Some of the best barbecue I've had ever. The ribs were perfectly cooked, moist, and super tasty. The Brunswick stew is one of the only stews that I've had that reminds me of my childhood and parents fixing. The corn is mostly ground up which makes a big difference in a lot of Brunswick stew. It is by far one of the absolute best Brunswick stew I've ever had. The baked beans were excellent as well. Perfect amount of density, sweetness, and tart. The coleslaw reminds me of the kind my mom used to make, ground up very fine and awesome. B got the chopped barbecue plate, which included coleslaw, Brunswick stew and white bread. This was also excellent and what they're mostly known for and it was fantastic. Making your own sandwich with a white bread, barbecue, and homemade barbecue sauce is phenomenal. Barbecue sauce is really good, it's their house sauce. They have a regular and hot. It's extremely tasty and yummy, but definitely on the thin side, which is perfect for this type of barbecue, even though I like my sauce just a little bit thicker. Drinks -- standard Coke products and sweet tea. We messed up and got a diet Coke instead of getting sweet tea, because I'm sure it's amazing. Even though this would go amazing with a beer, no alcohol served, which is fine. They have to go specials, and party packs, if you want to take them home and have some beer with it there. Service -- friendly and prompt service. It's counterstyle, so you order it at the counter and they have it ready within minutes for you even before you walk away to get a table. They also have drive-thru options. We went on a Saturday and got there a little after 11:00 and had to wait in a little bit of a line. But the closer you wait to noon the more of a line it gets. It was almost out the door when we left around 12:15. Atmosphere / Vibe -- It's simple as it gets and that's exactly what's necessary. No frills, nothing crazy, just an old-fashioned type restaurant with tables inside in a few out for you to enjoy this delicious barbecue. Value -- value was great overall. We got a rib platter, a chopped barbecue platter, and a large soft drink for 26 bucks. Definitely would be willing to pay even more for this quality of barbecue. Overall -- had this some when I was going to college at UGA, the one in Athens. This one in Macon measures up every single bit the same. And absolutely deserving of number two barbecue in the south and number one barbecue in the state of Georgia!"

"Upon arrival, the wonderful smell of smoked meat permeates the air. Service was good. I bought a chopped pork plate, Brunswick stew and cold slaw as well as BBQ sandwiches with chips. The chopped pork was on the dry with little sauce on the side. The Brunswick stew had a good taste but was more broth than meat and veggies. The cold slaw was creamy and good. BBQ sandwiches were good with a little extra sauce."
